Academic Courses

Cal Coast Academy’s academic program has a solid foundation in both tradition and innovation. All of our courses are designed with the student in mind and achieve the ideal balance between depth of knowledge acquired through content and breadth of knowledge gained through exploration. In addition to our rigorous University of California (UC) approved, college preparatory mainstream curriculum, students also benefit immensely from our expansive repertoire of Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) course offerings. By offering these elevated classes, we are able to cater to the needs of our student body that exhibit higher ability levels and/or are more intellectually curious. Our “open access” policy allows students in all grade levels the option of enrollment into any of our more demanding courses, given that the class pre-requisites have been satisfied and approval from our Head of School has been granted.
